So over this past summer I have definitely noticed my driving ability increase in both accuracy and distance. I am happy with the improvements, but I am still only a 300-320' driver on average (up from about 270-290'). Seeing as this is only my third season playing the game, I feel like this isn't terrible but not outstanding either. So my question is, how long did it take for you to make big leaps in distance on your drives? Like from 250' to 300' to 350' to 400'+ ...

I feel pretty good with my technique, so I think I may just be impatient, but I am curious to see how you all have improved with time as well! Any details of how you tweaked your technique or just found your snap are welcome!

I have gotten myself to throwing 400' or so in the last 2 years. I have hit some shots over that but it's a once in a while thing. Part of this I think is because I have been a shot put, discus, and Hammer thrower through high school and college. These techniques themselves don't help me(Except with a 360 chicken wing) but the fact that I have competed in a technique based sport has helped.

It was also key to me to get someone who knows what they are doing to watch me throw and tell me how to improve. You can only go off of feel so much, having a coach is a big help even if it's just for a round it can do wonders to have a coach.

It probably won't help to mention that Time doesn't just follow you all day; he stalks you while you sleep, too.

Ah, to the subject. I started at age 37 and my distance improved steadily into my mid-40s. At that time I tore up my shoulder and missed most of 2 years; after which, I could sometimes still reach my old distance. In my 50s, new disc technology masked my decline; since about 52 I've been declining faster than the manufacturers can cover me.

I started playing on my early 40's and my distance has been steadily improving, albeit very, very, slowly. Reasons for this:

1) I completely sucked when I started, and even a JLS was a meathook.
2) I learned which discs I could get more D out of.
3) I developed some sort of technique.*
4) I started throwing hard enough to get certain discs to turn over and began to realize a true flight path.
5) I discovered distance discs that work best for me.
